Sex Pistols

 Q:        
Sex Pistols The Sex Pistols are the English punk rock group who were responsible for initiating the punk Rock movement in the UK. They inspired many later punk and alternative rockers.

Career:

They came together in London in the year 1975. Their career though for just a short span of two-and-a-half years, produced only four singles and one studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, gave them the stature of one of the most influential acts in the history of punk rock music.

The Sex Pistols initially had the members vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock. Matlock gave way to Sid Vicious in the early part of 1977. Under the management and guidance of then Malcolm McLaren, they gave rise to many controversies which kep t Britain under a spell. Many of their live shows always faced issues with organizers and authorities, and they often ended in disaster. Their 1977 song "God Save the Queen", aimed at the Britons' social plan and problems to the crown, hinted at the "last and greatest outbreak of pop-based moral pandemonium".

In the year 1978 in January, at the culmination of a tour of the United States, band member Rotten disbanded and announced their break-up. Over the next several days, the other band guys recorded auditions for McLaren's film version of the Sex Pistols' story, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.

The member Vicious passed away due to a heroin overdose in February 1979. In the year 1996, Rotten, Jones, Cook and Matlock joined hands again for the Filthy Lucre Tour and then since 2002, they have staged other reunion shows and tours.

On 24 February 2006, the Sex Pistols refused to attend the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, calling the museum "a piss stain". Their song releases of "Anarchy in the U.K.", "God Save the Queen" and Never Mind the Bollocks are counted among the most important events in the history of popular music.
